Let’s be real—airdrops used to be about rewarding early believers, testers, and community builders. Now? They’ve turned into a **trading simulator**, especially on exchanges like Binance.

Here’s the **geek breakdown**:

1️⃣ **Exchange-Dependent**: Many airdrops now require you to trade or hold tokens on CEXs (looking at you, Binance). No more farming on-chain—just swap, provide liquidity, and wait for the "magic" snapshot.

2️⃣ **Volume Farming**: Projects prioritize traders over true supporters. The more you trade, the bigger your reward. It’s no longer about **tech adoption**, but **liquidity mining 2.0**.

3️⃣ **Whales Win**: Big players with deep pockets dominate, leaving small holders with crumbs. The "fair" distribution? More like **"who has the most trading bots"** wins.

**Final Boss Thought 🎮**: Are airdrops still about decentralization, or just another way for exchanges and whales to keep us playing their game?
